Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the disputed conditions are reasonable and necessary in the interests of highway safety and to protect the openness of the Green Belt

What decided it

Condition 5 restricting permitted development rights failed the test of necessity under the National Planning Policy Framework and Planning Practice Guidance, which require exceptional circumstances to justify such restrictions, and the Green Belt location alone does not meet this threshold.
